I saw a John Deere 317 listed on local Craig's list that needs engine. Would an Onan P220 fit to replace the bad Kohler engine in the 317? I have a good Onan P220 that I have been looking for a good GT.

Deere offered a Onan-repower kit for the 317 at one time so yes it is possible to fit the Onan in place. Not sure what is involved. I personally would go Vanguard or Command if I found a cheap dead 317.

I have a 317 onan repower conversion plate NLA from JD part number HE403-2615.Never used.Asking $350.00 please call Chris at 641-750-3638 or email csawyer@iowatelecom.net for more info.Located in Montour,Iowa and will ship at your expense or can deliver it to Horicon show in July.
